    Finishing A Race With Our Heads Held High

    Contributed by Howard Strickland on Mar 20, 2017
     | 5,597 views

    Say this, “Preparation is the key.” An admirer of a famous person said, “So how did you become so successful?” The famous person replied, “About 40 years of training and staying committed.” ( Faithfulness and fruitfulness are synonymous.)

    Finishing A Race With Our Heads Held High Philippians 3:12-14NKJB Not that I have already attained, or am already perfected; but I press on, that I may lay hold of that for which Christ Jesus has also laid hold of me. 13 Brethren, I do not count myself to have apprehended; but one ...read more

    He Created Me For A Purpose

    We have come to a time in history when there is a concerted attempt to exclude the recognition, & even the very mention of God from our schools, our government, & our public consciousness. And as a country we are paying a terrible price as a result.

    MELVIN M. NEWLAND, MINISTER CENTRAL CHRISTIAN, BROWNSVILLE, TX A. From time to time during the next few months I’m going to draw our attention back to the first few chapters of the Book of Genesis. I think there is a need to do so because some people say that these ...read more

    Explore the purpose and power of God over the "thorns" or challenges in our lives.

    Good morning, family! Today, we'll be diving deep into 2 Corinthians 12:7. We're going to explore the reality of a thorn in our flesh, the purpose of it, and most importantly, the power of God over that thorn. You know, Charles Spurgeon once said, "Trials teach us what we are; they dig up the soil ...read more

     | 3,168 views

    This message is based on the preaching of Jesus in Capernaum, His prayer to the Father which reminded Him of His purpose, to proclaim the message of grace, not just healing out of compassion. We have the same purpose.

    As we look at our church today are we about our Father’s business-saving live? Or are we not?

    THE LIFEBOAT STATION , by Theodore Wedel On a dangerous seacoast where shipwrecks often occur there was once a crude little lifesaving station. The building was just a hut, and there was only one boat, but the few devoted members kept a constant watch over the sea, and with no thought for ...read more

    Sermon 1 - Your Purpose

    based on 196 ratings
     | 52,904 views

    First in a series of "Purpose-Driven" messages. This one talks about why we are here; our purpose; and our ultimate value as Christians.

    All of us have questions about why we exist. I think the two most asked questions about our lives are: a) The question of reason - "Why am I here?" b) The question of value - "Do I really matter?" Now, if you go around asking different people these questions, you will get many different ...read more

    Purifying Our Hearts

    Contributed by Jm Raja Lawrence on Nov 18, 2025
     | 266 views

    God calls us to complete heart transformation, not surface improvements. Through confession, refining trials, and single-minded devotion, we discover the path to genuine purity and intimate fellowship with Him.

    Purifying Our Hearts Psalm 51:10 The foundation for heart purity begins with David's urgent prayer in Psalm 51:10. After his devastating sins with Bathsheba, David recognized something profound: his heart needed complete reconstruction, not minor repairs. When he asks God to "create" ...read more

    Our God Never Changes Series

    Contributed by David Owens on Nov 22, 2021
    based on 1 rating
     | 14,156 views

    Because everything around us is always changing, it is so good to know that our God never changes. God's consistent character, unchanging Word, promises and purposes gives us great strength and stability. How wonderful that we can hold to God's unchanging hand!

    A. Let’s begin by considering this statement: Everything changes, nothing stays the same, except for God. 1. Think about how travel has changed over time: a. When George Washington traveled from Virginia to Washington D.C. by horseback, it would take him ten days traveling at a speed of 25 miles ...read more

    Sermon # 41 - Forgotten Purpose Series

    Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Jan 15, 2025
    based on 1 rating
     | 630 views

    Jonah did not perceive God’s heart and thereby failed to rejoice when God’s purposes were accomplished in Nineveh. We as a church must have our hearts beat as one with that of God’s and fulfill His purposes to reach the lost and bring them into God’s Kingdom.

    We read in Jonah 4:5, “Jonah went out east of the city and sat down. He made a shelter for himself and sat in its shade, waiting to see what would happen to Nineveh.” (GNB) In this series we are studying the life of Jonah and comparing it with the church of today, thereby trying to learn some ...read more

    Many people down thru the ages have been "purpose driven"... but have failed to understand the most important part of what makes us a Christian. Do you know what might have been missing in their lives?

A while later she heard meowing and scratching on the door. The cats were obviously upset and frightened. She ...read more
